Honeycomb 1.0 Design

For the design of Honeycomb 1.0 a lot of inspiration was drawn from Radii V2 (http://hkim702.blogspot.com/2018/02/radii-v2.html). This was a tried and true drum spinner, and the authors of this blog made sure to highlight some of the issues that they had related to design and materials that they used in the fabrication of their robot.

Going into the design of Honeycomb 1.0 we're going to list the thoughts of some design aspects.

  1. Interlocking outer chassis to improve strength and rigidity.
  2. Outer wheel covers to protect from getting hit.
  3. Invertible design.
  4. Dead shaft to mount the weapon motor.
  5. Easily replaceable outer layers that are designed to take a beating.
  6. Have the side plates made from aluminum and the center plates 3d printed to cut weight while not sacrificing too much rigidity.
